I also had to use Emerald for window decorations. There’s one nuisance about it, though. Most of the themes look cartoon-ish and simply break this almost perfect look of Oxygen Style you can see in KDE 4.5.

I wanted a theme that would resemble an Oxygen Style that is found in KDE as much closely as is possible. I found none so I created one for myself. And I’m writing this post to share it with you, of course. Not to just tease. I’m all for sharing information and stuff (no, not money. Don’t bother to ask).

Let met show how it looks:

Oxygen Emerald KDE 4.5 v.1.0

As I said it’s a derivative work. The changes are the following:

smaller size window control buttons (15px height, just as original KDE Oxygen theme)

button distances resemble those in KDE’s native Oxygen Style: Close button is separated from Minimize and Maximize
